Stevie Wonder Used Jesse Jackson’s Funeral to Lecture White America
Joe Biden stood at Jesse Jackson's podium and told the crowd he is smarter than most of them.That was only the second most offensive thing that happened at that funeral.
Stevie Wonder took the mic and told white Americans they need to "overcome the mindset of white supremacy" – and Jesse Jackson's own son had seen enough. Wonder was supposed to be there to honor a man he called a lifelong friend.
He performed "As" and "They Won't Go When I Go" – songs he said "speak the truth in my heart."Then he stopped performing and started lecturing.
"It is you, and you know who you are," Wonder told the crowd. "You need to overcome hate. You need to overcome the mindset of white supremacy. You shall overcome the need to dominate every single country and every people."
Three former presidents, one failed former vice president, and one music legend all looked at a grieving family and decided: this is the moment--let's bash Trump-- after Jesse Jackson, Jr. asked them NOT to bring politics into the funeral.

What a surprise. A civil rights leader that MAGA-types have been crapping on for 60 years dies and his friends tell the crappers how ugly human beings they are.
Sounds just about right, Lynn. He should have also singled out the pretenders who wrote letters into newspapers following the election of Obama. They deserve the worst.
MAGA types crapping on him for years" wow, what a stupid lie. the number one MAGA guy is the President of the United states and they were friends for years. Despite political differences, Trump praised Jackson's "grit" and "street smarts" and highlighted their past work on diversity and inclusion.
So, you continue to say I voted for Obama. 18 years ago? 2008? 2012? Let's see the truth, show me my casted ballot. Democrats are such fools.
You mean they are such haters!
@4:13...yes they are!
